The winter holidays as a rule bring generous revenues to companies. The sales of alcoholic beverages, sweets and cakes rise during this period.

The fur tree growers also say their sales almost doubled year-on-year.

In 2016, the biggest producer of sparkling wine (Champaign) sold 5 m of bottles, 1/3 during the winter holidays.

Retailers say their sales will experience a new wave on the eve of January 7, when many Moldovans celebrate Christmas according to the Julian calendar.
